Going to get the display replaced sometime this week from ubreakifix.
Has anyone else cracked their 3a and had it repaired?
when you get your phone back, put one of these on it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RWM29DL/
just like with every phone, you should be using a tempered glass screen protector.
Sucks besides the temp glass protection, get a case.

I did, actually She did but I picked the tab, of course.
ubreakifix work was impeccable, no way to notice it's been replaced. $120 Canadian and 30 min. I'm pretty much sure they source displays from manufacturer.
Good to hear from someone who got theirs repaired there. I gave them a call and they said that for all Google products they get all parts direct from Google.
I would normally repair this myself but being my main phone and something I just bought a couple of months ago, I didn't want to mess with it.
I am definitely ordering a good screen protector immediately and not waiting.

The prices on Ebay were not much lower than ubreakifix quote and most ship from China, so it was no-brainer to me.

Is the replacement screen a samsung panel or a tianma panel?
dropped mine over laborday... ordered a replacement from Fixez.com... came quickly and is a samsung panel. replaced it myself, but they sticky they sent was cut wrong and too thick, so its not quite as flush as it was. might go by ubreak and see if they can help me out. works fine for now though

Broke my screen and looked on ebay for a replacement. What I can't figure out is why there is such a big price difference on all these screens. There are some for 20 all the way up to 100. Can someone chime in on this?

Depends if new or used, the source of the screen, counterfeit or real and also simply what the sellers think they can get.

ones that are legit are going for at least mid 50s I believe on ebay.
The reason there is such a price difference is because you are looking at two different products. I broke my screen last week, but it was only the top layer of glass(called the digitizer) that broke, which only costs $15-20. If you managed to break the glass and the LCD, however(if your screen won't turn on, or is massively discolored), then you need a full LCD replacement, which is much more expensive, costing closer to $150. Hope that helps

yeah i figured that out reading the description. how was it changing the digitizer? thats all i need replaced. only reason why i would consider buying the whole setup was so all i needed to do was plug and play.

There's a seller on eBay that has the model phones for cheap. I paid around $15 shipped for one when i replaced the digitizer on my inc1. Complete shell, battery cover and all, except the lcd and guts

Got mine from ebay for about 55bucks. Complete set. Plug and play. Even came with tools to get the job done and a step by step video. Can't go wrong. Much easier and safer to just replace both LCD and digitizer.

just bought the digitizer for 15 bucks shipped with all the tools. lets see how complicated it is to change this thing when i get it lol

Let us know how everything works out. I have a friend with a cracked digitizer and I was going to attempt to replace it for him. Also did you purchase the part from Ebay? Thanks!

I have replaced a screen in a Thunderbolt and Incredible 2. It isn't really very difficult just do a search on YouTube for a video with instructions, have a bright light and in my case a magnifying glass! (Old eyes)

So on day 4 of using my Nexus 5 I cracked the screen pretty badly. It was sitting on the edge of my dining room table and I hit it up into the air. It did one rotation and landed on a plate. I'd say the total fall couldn't have been more then 5 or 6 inches... The screen was totally smashed. :crying:
Anyway I've just sent it into LG for repair. The return process was pretty smooth but the CS Rep would not give me a quote or any idea what the replacement cost would be. I should hear from them in a few business days with a price. Anyone in the same boat?

Did you have a case/ a screen protector on? I'm sorry to hear that.
According to iFixit "The glass and LCD are fused to the display frame. Fixing broken glass will be either expensive or very difficult."
Might as well just invest in another one or another phone.

No case. Although I never had one on my Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus and they got through some drops ok. I think the difference here is the edge to edge glass. Even a small hit on the edge will crack the screen. Trust me there will be a case on it if I ever get it back.
I am guessing that it will be at least $150 based on iFixit and some quotes I've seen from the Nexus 4 thread. I'll update everyone when I get a price.
Pay with a credit card? Unless you have a poverty card, there is a good chance your card will have 90 day purchase protection and will cover the cost of the replacement.
Well I just got a notification that fedex delivered my phone to LG Repair facility. Now just waiting for a phone call.
Has anyone else received a quote on a screen replacement yet?

Hello, I m realy wondering how LG can repair your screen without giving you any kind of pre invoice???
I can anderstand that like dead HDs, they can't say how it would cost before examine it but then they must call you back to ask you if you accept the price!
Unless they have done it for free....

Yes my understanding is that they will call me first with a price before repairing it. If I accept they will fix it. If not they will send it back.
I really don't have any choice tho really. If its anything less then the 350 I paid for it Ill probably get it fixed. Other then the cracked screen its a brand new phone.
Well I got the quote from LG. It's $146 dollars to repair the screen. Not too bad I guess.
Hello,
I bought the S6 some times ago now, and I bought first a standard cover with magnet from Samsung. After a month I get a crack on the top and lower side of the cover, where the phone is. Recently I decided to buy another one, a SView cover. After 3 days It starts to crack already...
I'm thinking about returning it, but I'm afraid they will say it felt on the floor or something while I never ever let my phone falling or anything...
Do you know if there's defective models or something like that ? They aren't cheap at all I was expecting something way way better in term of quality, especially from Samsung official products.
Thanks in advance
Had the same problem, return it

But they refuse to refund of change it blaming ME for letting drop my phone which is false (they did the same with my aunt to be honest).
Same problem for me. One corner is cracked after only one week. I've seen many post about that on the web, and it looks like Samsung doesn't do anything..
The s veiw covers are on sale at frys electronics 78 cents to 8 dollars
So, I just received my U11. I've been playing around with it and just getting a feel for it. I ordered a couple cases and a screen protector ahead of time so I could apply it right away. While applying the screen protector, I noticed an odd mark on the curved edge of the screen. Once I was finished, I looked a little closer and it seemed like it was just a smudge. I tried buffing it out to no avail. I ran my fingernail across it and could feel that it was tiny rough spot, like something scuffed it during the machining process. It's hardly noticeable and doesn't interfere with the display, but of course I noticed it and now it's bothering me. I briefly thought about returning it, but knew that would probably make me crazy. Am I wrong for being slightly miffed over a miniscule imperfection on a brand new phone I paid $650 for?
Sounds like you need to contact HTC to see how they will resolve this. Good luck.
Yes, please contact HTC. They should send you a new one.
I feel like a crazy man because it is so insanely tiny that I'm not sure I can even get a decent picture without a magnifying glass and it affects absolutely nothing. My guess is it'll be considered cosmetic damage that won't be covered, but I have no idea. I've never had to return any device, so I think I'm fearing dealing with that process over something so trivial. Would I get another brand new phone or some refurb? I'll try to get a picture and update you on what they say.
You bought from HTC? You have a 30 day return window. No questions asked. You are responsible for shipping.
Just return and rebuy.

Had the same thing on my blue u11. Was on the bottom left, corner edge curve.
Didn't bother me at all, but when checking the back, more than half of the back glass had the dreaded "coating issue".
So returned, got a refund and ordered the solar red instead.
I'd recommend to exchange, if it bothers you.
I went through hell trying to get a refund, took 29 days, countless chats and calls, even had to dispute the transaction at one point, will never buy direct from HTC again, all because they refused an exchange, had to return and wait for the refund and buy the device again.

That's bad!
I sent mine in, on a Monday. Had refund by the Thursday. Reordered Thursday (as soon as refund arrived) had the replacement in my hands by Friday. Only took 5 days in total from returning the faulty one, to receiving the new one.
This was via HTC UK direct both times.

My Amazing Silver return (unit defective) took a total of 26 days from the time my unit arrived at the return centre until the funds were credited back to my acct.
Even so, I ordered the Solar Red and couldn't be happier with my U11, despite a very flawed returns process on the part of HTC.
My Solar Red came with a scratch on the front of the display. It sucked but I didn't bother about a swap because I was too over the moon about the phone. Sadly my phone couldn't survive being splashed on and I had to send it back anyway because water fogged up the camera lens. They'll just give anyone an ip67 rating these days.
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone on here has broken there back glass and managed to get it replaced? I pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple days ago and when i looked at it the back cover was shattered. i have no idea what happened. I didn't drop my phone and i don't remember anything hitting my pocket but i figure somehow i must have bumped it. At any rate I purchased a spigen case to cover it up and it looks fine. I'd be able to live with it with the exception that i have a crack going over each of my camera lenses resulting in some distorted pictures. So anyway, short story long, I'm pretty sure that i'm just going to order a replacement back from ebay and attempt the replacement myself. I'm fairly confident from the video's that I've watched that i can handle it ok. If not then oh well I guess. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Has anyone else done this repair and have any information or advice that would be useful. Just curious and figure it's worth asking first. Thanks in advance
I am quite lucky to even after it several falls.carefully replace it good luck .
Only a few people I saw had their back glass shattered. And I think most of them had replaced it either in the service center or got a replacement unit.

Be careful before buying. If you buy any duplicate one, your camera won't be good.

I'll try to find a good one, unfortunately all of the replacements seem to be from China. That being said the camera is already dink'd up from the cracks so I'm not too worried about it. Thanks!

I will. I just ordered a back including the fingerprint sensor this morning. I'm not expected to have it until sometime around September 6th. I ordered from this ebay link, we'll see how it goes. Worse case I'm out $25.
That's okay. But I think Huawei also fixes the back with 100% guaranteed that everything will be fine.
